TV Guide Magazine: How did State of Affairs lure you back into the spotlight?
Heigl: Executive producers Rodney Faraon and Hank Crumpton aare ex-CIA. Rodney was on the briefing team for Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. They’d tell stories, and I’d think about how no one really talks about those analysts. There’s no real glory in the job, because they have to remain anonymous. There’s not a lot of money in it. Plus, the idea of playing a grown-up woman in a powerful position seemed really appealing to me.

TV Guide Magazine: How is she different from Izzie?
Heigl: Izzie had a very serious grown-up career, but she was — and I was — young. She was still fumbling around life. So I was excited to play a true adult.

TV Guide Magazine: You’ve said returning to TV isn’t a step backward. Are you tired of constantly defending your career choices?
Heigl: I find it interesting that people even ask if TV is a demotion. How can you say that and watch something like Matthew McConaughey in True Detective or Kevin Spacey in House of Cards?

TV Guide Magazine: The first episode has gone through many versions since you shot it. Has the process been nerve-racking?
Heigl: The pilot morphed from one thing to another and then back again, because, honestly, what Joe Carnahan made was so phenomenal. But I find the whole process fascinating rather than nerve-racking.

TV Guide Magazine: Do you ever disagree with where the writers want to take Charlie?
Heigl: Oh, yeah. That always comes up. But I think it does for every actor. There are moments where you’re like, “That’s not who she is, or who we’re trying to make her.” The beauty of also being a producer is they do have to at least hear me out.

TV Guide Magazine: Were there any changes you did insist on?
Heigl: My mother and I felt strongly that Charlie needs to have an intriguing love interest who is not dead like her fiancé. We added someone to the pilot.

TV Guide Magazine: Given recent events, why did you decide not to cut the beheading storyline?
Heigl: [Because] that was actually when I realized, “My God, what we’re talking about isn’t far-fetched.” The story we’re telling is relevant.

TV Guide Magazine: Charlie has a very high-security job with big secrets to keep. Can she trust her colleagues?
Heigl: Right now, Joe and I are arguing because he always wants to have someone either die or be really horrible. I’m like, “No, no, the team has to be the team! The audience has to be able to count on them. No one should be the secret bad guy.” We’ll see who wins the argument. I’m not sure!

TV Guide Magazine: On Grey’s, you stood up for yourself and said, “Look, I don’t think this material is good.” If a male actor did that, it might not have been a big deal.
Heigl: Yeah, I know, we’d have to write a book if we were to talk about that. Look, there are gracious, classy ways of doing what I did. Then the not-so-gracious and not-so-classy ways. I fell into the latter at that point in my life. I spent the next couple of years wobbling. If people keep saying something about you, you wonder if they’re right and you’re wrong. It’s uncomfortable to think, “My God, am I really this s–tty person?” But it wasn’t the end of the world either. There’s a lot worse I could have done. I’m always going to fight for the material to be great.

Contact Music shared an article on Katherine talking about her life living in rural Utah with her husband Josh and their two daughters.

Katherine Heigl loves leading a country life.

‘The Ugly Truth’ actress left Los Angeles and relocated to rural Utah with her husband Josh Kelley and their two adoptive daughters, Naleigh, four, and Adalaide Marie Hope, 13 months, and has been embracing a less glamorous lifestyle ever since.

She explained: ”Our house is in the mountains where I can enjoy being a mother and wife. Our dogs love roaming – every time I try to leave they bark and jump on me!

”Everything is much easier. I’m happy arranging barbecues with neighbours and drinking homemade beer. Its not glamorous but its good.”

The 34-year-old blonde also offered her advice on how to keep a marriage going with two young kids in the mix, saying you need to make the most of time alone.

Katherine told LOOK magazine: ”You need to spend time together in the evenings when the children are asleep … enjoy a drink and feel romantic!”

The star claims her new lifestyle is part of a mission to give her children the best possible upbringing, and she also gave up smoking for the sake of Naleigh’s health and hasn’t look bad since.

She said: ”I wanted to quit when Naleigh came into our life. I swore there was no way I was going to smoke with a baby in the house. It’s the one massive vice I’ve had in my life.”

“The collection was based on a painting I saw of the mid-17th century salons in Paris, where intelligent women would gather to discuss the arts and politics and sit on lounges with these wonderful satin dresses on,” Packham said. “I borrowed the colors and mood from there.”

Does Packham know yet which stars will be wearing her designs on the Oscar red carpet on February 24? “I don’t get my hopes up,” she replied. “Even if they say they are going to wear [my gown], I don’t know for sure.” We asked about which award season trends we will see at the Oscars. “I think what we’ve seen are a lot of strapless looks, which is a sort of predictable glamorous look. What I’d like to see is what we tried to do with this show, which is to play the hair and makeup down a bit to keep it fresh and young. If you’re going to dress up with a nod to old glamour, try to do something modern with it.”

The animated feature The Nut Job has drawn a voice cast that will be led by Katherine Heigl, Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser, Stephen Lang, Sarah Gadon, and Jeff Dunham. The feature, which Peter Lepeniotis will direct based on his 2005 short film Surly Squirrel, is a co-production between Canada-based ToonBox Entertainment and Korea-based Redrover Co, Ltd. Redrover is financing with plans to release next year.

Written by veteran Disney animation scribe Lorne Cameron (Brother Bear, Over The Hedge), The Nut Job is an action-packed comedy set in the late 1950s in fictional Oakton. Pic follows the travails of the mischievous squirrel Surly and his rat pal Buddy as they plan a nut store heist that gets out of hand.
